PowerBlock Elite Dumbbells Review
I’m a huge dumbbell fan who appreciates a comfortable grip. And even though I’ve been very skeptical about adjustment dumbbells in the past I now understand the convenience in comparison to regular fixed models. Even though regular models can provide a slightly more comfortable grip, a solid pair of adjustment dumbbells can easily compete. The PowerClock Elite is perhaps one of the most carefully designed and a manufactured set of dumbbells, and reviewing it was quite a pleasure.
Compact, reliable, efficient
The PowerBlock Elite dumbbells provide:
- Balance, compactness and a super comfortable grip. They are much easier and faster to adjust compared to other dumbbells that follow the same concept. The cage assists on easing off the grip and concentrating the tension in the muscle instead of the forearm.
- Stability and easy adjustment. They have a rubber-coated handle which provides a comfortable grip and the top bars are padded, which is an added bonus. You’ll get excellent control and stability on all movements. The plate sections won’t rattle or wobble, which is a huge improvement over other types of adjustable dumbbells.
- Simple and elegant mechanism for switching the weights.
- Perfect balance of weights switching speed, reliability and value.
- Solid quality structure and very secure.
- Efficient space handling and storage.
- Cost-effectiveness compared to the price you’ll have to pay for multiple individual sets of dumbbells.
